THE BUILD

The house had to be completely stripped back to its ‘bones’ — asbestos was removed, the old fireplace taken out, beams revealed and painted, and floors levelled. Upstairs, the internal wall separating the old bathroom and small box room was taken down to create a larger bathroom and finally, the outside spaces were cleared and re-landscaped.
